Ok I know its not a reef fish but one of my friends caught a huge brown trout in the fall-catch and release..this thing was huge it had real teeth ... I ve been working on it the last two weeks in the evenings..the dots took forever ...

I just went through this entire thread and I love your work-- the angler group and mandarin pair especially! Do you have a website for your underwater photography? The photos from your show look fantastic and I'd love to see more.

Thanks Pelu,

I am actually working on a website at the moment. Have the landing page up and hope to have some galleries later in the week. I dont believe that I can post the URL here but when its up and running I could let you know..

Ok so it took almost 4 months to finish..largely because I was gone for big parts of the summer..should be back to the drawing/painting board on a more regular basis now that the weather is cooling down.

Awesome water color, will be contacting you about doing some possible other fish for the room that will have my 625g in it

Dmorty217 · Oct 3, 2014

Love the Sohal and clown tang water colors, they are amazing! Do you have one of a Achilles?

swhobbie1 · Oct 3, 2014

This is an awesome thread. Thanks for sharing your paintings. Very nice!

Betta132 · Oct 3, 2014

Have you considered doing shrimp? Especially scarlet skunk cleaners, I bet they'd look awesome in your style.

somosomo · Oct 3, 2014

thanks guys.
Dmorty looking forward to hearing from you.
To answer your question. Yes I have done paintings of the Achilles Tang a couple of times. I think you have to look all the way back to page 6 to find them...http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2001178&page=6

Betta 132 -Thanks invertebrates are something I have been meaning to get to.
